Skyscraper

some tribes. One that I remember was the skillful hunters (i.e. getting the neighbor’ animals), since, the same group was not specialized in harvesting the foods they eat. Also, the Mohawks from upstate New York who work in the construction of skyscrapers in Manhattan. More recently, Ofelia Zepeda’s poetry book Ocean Power boosted my little, until now, understanding of the Sonora people. In “Hot Tortilla” I found sufficient images to discompose life in the desert. This poem is a…

Baz Luhrmann uses his films to recreate classic texts and places to transform them into theatrical masterpieces. Throughout his career he has evolved and progressed in his cinematic language and techniques to achieve this, this is very evident in three of his films; Strictly Ballroom (1992), Romeo and Juliet(1996) and The Great Gatsby(2013). All three of these films re-reveal either a place (Australia in Strictly Ballroom) or a classic text (such as in Romeo and Juliet and Great Gatsby). He…

The Lump in my Throat “A lump in my throat” is a common phrase used amongst many to express their feelings of sadness, but I had a literal lump in my throat. Missing days upon days of school was a problem, but my mother took me to multiple doctors, hoping to discover what was wrong with me. One doctor discovered that I had mono, an illness common in teenagers. Others searched for things I could be allergic to, and even had me go on special diets. This time of my life was especially difficult,…

event wrecked families: elderly, parents and children. Tears are rolling from my stinging eyes, as it is shocking that people can cause a building crash. Each minute felt like an hour. There is no memorial left of the twin towers just many other skyscrapers surrounding that destroyed area. There is nothing left for New York City now. Many innocent lives were ruined and many stories are still left…

stared down, at me with his one eye, like a deer in a head light. He said “ and who might you be” I said “ I am the great great grandson of Ted Smith”. Well I tried to hurry up and run down the stairs, but he cut me off and I looked up at that ugly skyscraper and said “ this goose belongs to my family”. So he picked me up and we went into is cave. The adrenaline was pumping throughout my whole body. So we sat down and talked for a while, and he shared some information with me that I was not…

Dreams separate those who can see where they must go from those who wander aimlessly through life in a simple and intrinsically animal pursuit of living. Without desire, or want humans would never have transcended their anatomy to build amazing skyscrapers, 3 million kilogram rockets and amazing ways of enjoying life.

Carpe Diem in “Winter Dreams” is, in the long run, an unfulfilled concept. I expose Dexter’s botching his many opportunities to “seize the day.” The setting written during a period of time in and around the Roaring 20’s when Dexter is between fourteen to thirty-two years old. F. Scott Fitzgerald divides “Winter Dreams” among specific time periods…

Writer’s intention in this article is to examine if we have any duties to the death. The scenario is: Mrs. White has died; she used to own a laundromat. The questions writer is trying to answer are, if her son Jimmy were to sell it: “a) would he be harming Mrs. White? b) Does he have some kind of duty to keep it going, no matter what, c) If so, to whom does Jimmy have this duty, given that Mrs. White no longer exists?” (1). Writer believes Jimmy has no duties- I agree with him. The first…
